Fight! The Fighting Game RPG

Through the roar of the crowds, the warrior sizes up his opponent. This fight is but another step on the journey. The goal: physical perfection and mastery of technique. The path: unrelenting duels in the most dangerous tournament of all time.

In the crime-ridden streets of Independence City, a young woman looks for answers...and revenge for what happened to her. Her quest is hindered by brutal lieutenants with esoteric fighting styles on her way to a final confrontation with the crime lord behind it all.

At the cosmic nexus, the mystical rings that bind the universe together threaten to crack, plunging all that is into utter annihilation. One man stands a chance to hold it all together, but only if he can defeat the most powerful sorcerer in history in hand-to-hand combat.

A lone ninja stares at the warlord's fortress in the distance. She knows that if peace is to be restored, she will need to defeat each of the six demonic henchmen of the Dark Shogun.

All of these heroes share one thing in common: They are Fighters, the greatest martial artists in the world, and now their stories are yours.

Create your own Fighters, complete with unique move sets and character traits drawn directly from the worlds of fighting video games.

Design your own Special Moves with an effect-based system featuring over 130 elements.

Engage in combat with rules focused specifically on genre emulation, including a focus on combos, defense and countering, and distance and positioning.

Create your own campaigns based on the models found in the stories of fighting video games. Battle in tournament arenas, in gritty back alleys, and everywhere in between with the fate of the city, the world, or the universe at stake!

Fight! The Fighting Game RPG contains all you need to tell stories of over-the-top martial arts action and adventure as seen in the worlds of fighting video games.

"I love the Special Move system...A very strong effort at genre emulation." - Tommy Brownell, 8 out of 10 on rpg.net

Roleplaying games trying to emulate the intense action of fighting games have been quite obscure. White Wolf's Street Fighter RPG was the last commercial game before Fight! AFAIK, but there has been no shortage of homebrew systems in the meantime, like [...]

I approached Fight! with caution. I'm a big fan of 2D fighting games and RPGs so it just felt too good to be through. The other systems I knew related to this (Thrash, Final Stand, Mortal Konquest) were free, so it took me a while to check it out since [...]

As a fan of fighting games, coming across Fight! The Fighting Game RPG made me smile, and naturally I purchased it. After an hour or two of reading, and running a few combats in the system, I've decided it was money well spent. As one c [...]

Fight! The Fighting Game RPG is a new role-playing game written by Christopher Peter for Divine Madness Press. As the name implies, the RPG is designed to capture the feel of 2D and 3D fighting games, and this RPG takes a very "metagame" appr [...]

I purchased this product after some personal debate because I quite enjoy Fighting-style video games and hoped that this would make for an easily handled and light hearted game. After several hours of reading I've decided that it was a purchase [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
